media literacy includes understanding why a media product was made, to whom it's being sold, and the assumed preferences of its marketing demographic. narrative is not produced or sold in a vacuum.

duckbunny

you might be totally correct that your ship would be narratively satisfying. I don't know, I'm not watching your show. Whether your ship is likely to happen on the show is a whole different question to whether it's satisfying, because the show is being sold to Netflix or Amazon or the BBC, and they are purchasing a show they think they can market to a particular demographic and that demographic isn't you, the nightmarishly online tumblr user. The show is being made for marketability to a constructed average viewer. It is being funded with that audience in mind. This art is being made to commission, and commissioned art is art, but at some point you have to stop expecting the Church to commission a statue of Lucifer fucking St Michael. It might be narratively satisfying, but that's just not what they're paying for.

One of my least favorite things as an art educator is when people will be like

“Don’t give me wishy washy advice like try more or get comfortable with failure! I want the hard nuts and bolts! Don’t be so hard on yourself, avoid perfection!”

And like…not only IS that the hard stuff, actually, it IS nuts and bolts advice.

The only way to get better at art is to make it.

That’s it.

And that’s also the hardest part. It’s not the hands or the shading or the proportions.

It’s making art.

And it’s the only way.

btw this was inspired by a young student who wouldn’t do his basic, beginner drawing exercise in his beginners drawing class because he didn’t know how to draw.

He drew at exactly a normal skill level for his age.

And I know SO MANY adults who would be frustrated with that kid who do the EXACT same thing with their own art, just using more complex wording.

#and yes #eventually as you get into a KIND of art #you WILL start getting the kind of advice you want #but even things like the fundemental of drawing don’t matter until you’re comfortable with a pencil #and they won’t be nearly as useful if you end up making pottery #and if you can’t handle hearing you need to draw a lot #idk that you’re gonna like #you need to draw a lot of basic stuff with a lot of care and effort if you want to do better at representative art #(which is what most people want)#it’s just draw more but with a specific hat on

"transmascs love misgendering themselves" hey so are you aware that everytime we try to create inclusive terms we get made fun of? Did you not see how mad TERFs got over the terms "birthing person" or "uterus owner"? We literally can't use terms that wouldn't misgender us because when we do other queer people and people outside the community turn it into a joke.

Preserving @jadwigaspeaks's tags:

#also as far as i can tell most alleged instances of ''transmascs misgendering themselves'' are either#1. a transmasc being gnc / otherwise having fun with gender#2. a transmasc talking about his experiences with misogyny + how being seen *by others* as a woman affected him#or 3. transmascs going into a team/restroom/shelter that's stated to be for women because A. transphobes have specifically banned them from#the men's version or B. the men's version doesn't exist#or C. if the men's version does exist it either cannot or will not meet trans men's needs#none of those can be described in good faith as misgendering one's self#transandrophobia
